Denver Broncos

The Lead
Before training camps get underway, ESPN is previewing the season by ranking NFL teams by roster strength based on the Pro Football Focus database.
Behind the strength of their secondary, the Broncos ranked in the top 10 and could be in position to challenge for a playoff spot.
"Denver might just have the best secondary in the NFL," Ben Linsey wrote. "Last year, third-round rookie Michael Ojemudia, an injured A.J. Bouye and Bryce Callahan -- who typically plays in the slot -- were the team's top three outside cornerbacks. Denver now has the luxury of deciding which of Kyle Fuller, Ronald Darby or top-10 pick Pat Surtain II will start the season on the bench due to Callahan likely moving back inside. And at safety, Justin Simmons and Kareem Jackson rank second and sixth, respectively, in PFF's wins above replacement metric since the start of the 2019 season."
